AfCFTA, Rendeavour Partner to Boost Africa’s Industrial Growth
By Jacquelyne Arusei – Nairobi, Kenya
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat has partnered with Rendeavour, Africa’s new city builder, to support the implementation of the AfCFTA through infrastructure-led industrialisation and trade-enabling urban development across the continent.
Under the partnership, Rendeavour will support the AfCFTA Secretariat in advancing the role of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) as drivers of industrialisation and economic growth across Africa.
The collaboration will also focus on mobilising private capital for trade-enabling infrastructure and supporting the development of trade and industrial corridors linked to logistics networks and integrated industrial hubs.
The agreement was signed on the sidelines of Biashara Afrika 2026, the AfCFTA Secretariat’s flagship private sector engagement platform that convenes leaders, investors and business executives to advance intra-African trade and private sector-led growth
